• Although the rice measure holds about 5 ounces of uncooked rice; the cooked rice is given
in 8 ounce cup measures.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using kosher salt you
may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt. Use about 3/4 tsp. kosher
salt to each cup of uncooked rice.
• White rice should be kept in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
• Brown rice has a limited shelf life; store it for no more than a month before using.
• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for additional flavor. If
